WARNING
Radio waves could adversely affect electric
medical equipment. Those who use a pace-
maker should contact the electric medical
equipment manufacturer for the possible
influences before use.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all the
door locks using the remote control function
or pushing the request switch on the vehicle
without taking the key out from a pocket or
purse. The operating environment and/or
conditions may affect the Intelligent Key sys-
tem operation.
Be sure to read the following before using the
Intelligent Key system.
CAUTION
∙ Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you when operating the vehicle.
∙ Never leave the Intelligent Key in the ve- hicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicating
with the vehicle as it receives radio waves.
The Intelligent Key system transmits weak
radio waves. Environmental conditions may interfere with the operation of the Intelligent
Key system under the following operating
conditions:
∙ When operating near a location where strong radio waves are transmitted, such
as a TV tower, power station and broad-
casting station.
∙ When in possession of wireless equip- ment, such as a cellular telephone, trans-
ceiver or a CB radio.
∙ When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or covered by metallic materials.
∙ When any type of radio wave remote control is used nearby.
∙ When the Intelligent Key is placed near an electric appliance such as a personal
computer.
∙ When the vehicle is parked near a parking meter.
In such cases, correct the operating condi-
tions before using the Intelligent Key function
or use the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies de-
pending on the operating conditions, the bat-
tery’s life is approximately two years. If the
battery is discharged, replace it with a new
one. When the Intelligent Key battery is low, an
indicator illuminates in the vehicle informa-
tion display. For additional information, refer
to “Vehicle information display” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section of this manual.
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously re-
ceiving radio waves, if the key is left near
equipment which transmits strong radio
waves, such as signals from a TV and per-
sonal computer, the battery life may become
shorter.
For additional information, refer to “Battery
replacement” in the “Maintenance and do-it-
yourself” section of this manual.
For models with a steering wheel lock
mechanism: Because the steering wheel is
locked electrically, unlocking the steering
wheel with the ignition switch in the LOCK
position is impossible when the vehicle bat-
tery is completely discharged. Pay special at-
tention that the vehicle battery is not com-
pletely discharged.
As many as four Intelligent Keys can be reg-
istered and used with one vehicle. For infor-
mation about the purchase and use of addi-
tional Intelligent Keys, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer.
